I keep a spreadsheet of my collection, albums I've sampled but passed on or purchased and sold, and albums that are on my wish list. I haven't been as diligent about tracking sampled albums for a while, most of that dated back to when samples weren't as ubiquitous as they are today.Originally Posted by Tom

As a software developer, music fan and generally obsessive type, it's probably no surprise that I wrote a Windows-based program (back in 1997) to track my music collection. It just keeps the info (artist, title, format, release date, purchase date, etc) in a flat text file but allows me to sort it any way I want (for example by release date so I can see everything I own from 2007). I've had to update the program a couple times (it was originally written in Visual Basic 5, which I don't think Windows even supports anymore), but it still gets the job done.
That 2006 release date that Amazon gives for The Grand Wazoo must be a remaster or reissue or something. The album originally came out in 1972.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Don't know about the original firmware on my ipod, but with the Rockbox software I run on it you can view your music ordered by artist, album, genre, year, etc. So I can just pick a year and it shows me all the albums I own from that year.
Can you view releases by year on ProgArchives?
I kept a list of all my CDs (just a text file) but stopped maintaining it years ago.
Yes, go to the charts page and you can filter by year, country and genre.

for me, Gnosis makes filtering by year or country an instantly gratifying experience
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

This is 2006, not sure why people keep putting it in 2007. Great album though.

I went to Gnosis (as I suspect others did too) for my private list (only listed the 12 & 11.

It's 2006 on the jacket. I'm not sure why Gnosis would have it as 2007.

Not a bad year if you know where to look. Certainly beats 1997, even if it pales next to 1987 and gets clobbered 1,000-fold by 1977.
From that tiny 2007 list, the following four yield the highest red-count:
Hiromi's Sonicbloom — Time Control
Aranis — II
Factor Burzaco — Factor Burzaco
Garamond — Quant'altro

It was definitely released in 2008.
If Electric Outlet is 2007 then add that one to my favs for sure!
How's that Buckethead? Ambient? Vocals? Metal? He has so many albums in different styles

Gnosis, Prog Archives, and Discogs have this as 2006. There's no release year on the CD, but I think it was 2006. Gave it a fresh spin tonight, good album.
Bill
what's the first one like?
And is the second a 2007 release... My mind has it more like 2003/4
I guess I'll have to check out the first ADC, coz it's mentioned by manu

Gosh, look at some of this lists, it's striking just how few of those albums I have actually heard! Of those that I have heard, I couldn't abide FoaBP, Sola Scriptura or Systematic Chaos. Indeed, the latter might well be in the running for the title of worst Dream Theater album of all time. I remember thinking that Marillion's Somewhere Else was distinctly patchy as well. The album that really stands out for me from 2007 (which was a somewhat difficult year for me) is Umphrey's Mcgee's The Bottom Half, which I thought a fantastic album for what was supposedly a collection of leftovers, and a major return to form after the distinctly lackluster Safety in Numbers. Hard to be believe it's ten years ago, though it often seems like yesterday and a million years past simultaneously.
